 Do you ever feel like you have no control over your life, emotions, or things you say? A really common struggle for ADHD years is impulsivity. That means interrupting people, saying things you immediately regret, having chaotic spending habits, or struggling with bad habits and addictions. Without treatment, impulsivity can lead to negative consequences like losing a job, getting expelled from school, or breaking up. Because it's impulsive, it doesn't feel like a choice is made, but nobody else knows that. ADHD brains don't automatically pause before acting, so you have to learn how. The first step is becoming familiar with how your brain works. The more you understand it, the more you can regain control and turn impulsive acts into thoughtful decisions. Best of all, this approach helps other symptoms like emotion regulation. Learn what your brain does differently, and you can learn how to do the things your brain wasn't wired for. While keeping the strengths ADHD gives you.
